What is supposedly a look at the official redesign of Sonic for the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie has been making the rounds over the past day or so. While there’s no confirmation that this is the real thing, if it’s a fake, it’s an awful convincing one. And fans seem to be really digging the new take on the Blue Blur.

In case you missed it, you can check out what appears to be the Sonic redesign on some licensing art. As with all movies, promotional material coming out ahead of release needs to be produced in order to hype folks up. Stuff like posters, cardboard standees, and endcap decoration for retail stores often leak far ahead of release for films, and it’s not uncommon for these to offer the first look at characters and so on.

Sonic the Hedgehog is currently scheduled to release in theaters on February 14, 2020. This comes after the film was first announced for November of this year, and then delayed after the reaction to the film’s design of Sonic was poorly received.
